"Chunyue, what's wrong? Is something wrong with the Duchess?" Xu Yuehuai asked anxiously, worried that something had happened to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
San Niang and Zhou Wan listened quietly, both praying that it was a good thing. After all, thanks to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion as their backer, they had enjoyed many benefits, and even the government dared not easily come to cause them trouble.
Chunyue smiled and quickly said, "No, Miss, it was Madam who asked me to bring you clothes. Madam was worried that you wouldn't know what to wear since it's your first time entering the palace, so she specially asked me to bring them to you."
Xu Yuehuai felt a surge of warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and San Niang and Zhou Wan also smiled.
"That's great! We don't have to worry about what clothes to pick out for A-Yue anymore." Third Sister clapped her hands quickly.
Chunyue continued, "Miss, please don't think that entering the palace is a big deal. With the madam by your side, you won't have to worry about anything."
"Thank you in advance, Madam. Chunyue, it must have been a long journey for you. Please have some tea before you go. I'll bring you some snacks later." Xu Yuehuai was very happy and wanted Chunhua to stay a while so she could prepare some pastries.
Seeing that their palace attire was secured, San Niang and Zhou Wan were naturally in high spirits and no longer in a hurry, so they also helped with the preparations.
Zhou Wan pulled Chun Yue to drink tea, while San Niang went to help Xu Yuehuai make pastries.
About half an hour later, the pastries were all baked and packed. Xu Yuehuai came out and handed them to Chunyue, then sent someone back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to report to the lady.
Xu Yuehuai felt relieved after seeing the person off and was about to go back to rest when she saw Qi Guze.
Seeing that there was nothing else important to do and that Qi Guze had arrived, San Niang and Zhou Wan naturally wanted to give them some alone time, so they quickly took the opportunity to slip away.
Qi Guze entered Tianxiang Tower with a clothes box in his hand. Xu Yuehuai frowned slightly when she saw him, but she couldn't help but feel happy inside.
Xu Yuehuai, contrary to her usual behavior, was just like the cold and aloof Qi Guze. She didn't say a word and just stood there.
Qi Guze approached and handed over the box: "This is for you."
When Xu Yuehuai saw him come over to bring her something and even take the initiative to speak, she was naturally pleased, but her expression remained unchanged: "Oh, just put it there."
Seeing her attitude, Qi Guze thought she was still angry and became a little anxious. He didn't know how to coax her. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "A-Yue, don't be angry about what happened last time. I will definitely listen to you next time."
“Those people are complete bloodsuckers. You gave them money today, but you definitely won’t be able to get away unscathed next time. Who knows how big their appetites will grow if this goes on for too long.” Xu Yuehuai’s anger flared up at the mention of the Xu family, and she couldn’t help but raise her voice again.
Zhou Wan and San Niang made an excuse to go into the house, but actually just sat down and ate some pastries.
After all, they were quite tired from shopping for clothes today, and while they were resting, they noticed that the two people outside seemed a bit off.
“Third Sister, look at A-Yue. If it were any other day, the two of them would definitely have gone to the backyard or her room, but the atmosphere is a bit off today.” Zhou Wan sat by the window, looking at them and lost in thought.
Upon hearing this, Third Sister also hurriedly got up and came over to see.
At this moment, Zhou Wan smiled and said, "Third Sister, I just remembered that after the Xu family came that day, A-Yue and the Prince had a quarrel. It seems that neither of them has backed down yet. Why don't we go down and help them? That way, our lives will be a little easier."
Now that she has found her own place, she naturally hopes that Xu Yuehuai can also find his own soon.
Third Sister glanced at it and agreed with Zhou Wan's words. The two smiled at each other and decided to go down and help the two.
Zhou Wan pushed open the door and ran downstairs. When she was almost at Xu Yuehuai's place, she not only didn't slow down, but also pushed her hard.
Xu Yuehuai suddenly fell towards Qi Guze.
Xu Yuehuai was also completely taken aback, and her heart pounded in her chest, fearing that she might fall to the ground and hurt herself.
Qi Guze frowned, also taken aback by the unexpected push, but he quickly recovered, firmly catching Xu Yuehuai in one arm, and asked with a frown, "Zhou Wan, what are you doing?"
Xu Yuehuai was so frightened that she forgot to struggle.
Third Sister also came out at this time: "Look at you two, since you care about each other so much, what can't you say?"
Zhou Wan also took a few steps back and said somewhat embarrassedly, "A-Yue, I'm sorry, I just didn't want you and the prince to have a falling out and not talk to each other."
Xu Yuehuai's lips twitched after hearing this. This little devil is really something.
Qi Guze was overjoyed after hearing the whole story, and even gave San Niang and Zhou Wan a smile to express his gratitude.
Xu Yuehuai also took in their little actions and burst out laughing.
When Qi Guze saw that Xu Yuehuai finally smiled, he also openly smiled as well.
"Alright, alright, since you two are both laughing, then let's consider this a fait accompli and let bygones be bygones." Seeing the two of them laughing so sweetly made Third Sister feel happy.
Xu Yuehuai still feigned a coquettish tone, saying, "You two are getting more and more opinionated now. I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
“Ah Yue, it’s okay if you ignore us, but you can’t ignore the Prince. Besides, the Prince can help you out once you enter the palace,” Third Sister quickly said.
Before long, it was Consort Min's birthday banquet. After the Duchess of Zhenguo had made all the preparations, she personally came to Tianxiang Tower to pick up Xu Yuehuai.
"Manager Xu, the Duchess of Zhenguo is here!" As soon as the shop assistants shouted, Xu Yuehuai rushed out of the room. "Coming, coming!"
As Xu Yuehuai walked, she was still thinking about which outfit to wear; she was really torn.
But now that the Duchess has arrived, and she still hasn't made a choice, she can't help but feel a little anxious.
Looking at Xu Yuehuai's clothes, she couldn't help but wonder, and quickly asked, "A-Yue, why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Are you not satisfied with that outfit? Otherwise, let's hurry up and buy another one."
Before Xu Yuehuai could explain, she was pulled away.
"Mother, don't worry, the clothes are very nice, but..." She quickly began to explain, and at the same time, she used her strength to pull the person back to her room.
When they got upstairs, the Duchess of Zhenguo saw two sets of clothes on the bed. One set was a gift from her, and the other was a dress she had never seen before. However, just by looking at the material, she knew that the dress was very valuable.
